Regarding The Church of the Good Shepherd. Excerpt from the National Register nomination:
The Church of the Good Shepherd is a weatherboarded Gothic Revival chapel in the resort town of Cashiers, N.C. Sited on a shady knoll amid native rhododendron and flame azaleas, the chapel was built in 1895 to replace an earlier structure which burned in 1892. Both buildings served a summer colony of South Carolinians, most notably the General Wade Hampton family, which contributed to their construction. The Hamptons donated the church bell, nowhoused in a free-standing tower northwest of the building.Warren LeMay via Flickr/Public domain, January 2, 20192. The Church of the Good Shepherd Marker
